The Democratic Party's committee on gender equality and family: ”We will take part in the adoption process of the personnel hearing report for the candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, Kang Son-woo, of the People's Power Party” (South Korea)

On the 18th, members of the National Assembly's Gender Equality and Family Committee from the ruling Democratic Party of Korea said, "The People's Power should stop dragging down national politics and support Kang Sun-woo, the candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family.
The committee for women and families issued a statement that afternoon, saying, "The personnel hearing was conducted according to the procedures prescribed by law.
Postponing the adoption of the report is a clear dereliction of duty. Under the Personnel Hearing Law, the committee is to submit a progress report on the personnel hearing to the chairman within three days of the conclusion of the personnel hearing.
"This is not just a recommendation, it is the responsibility of the National Assembly," the committee members emphasized. "Candidate Kang participated sincerely throughout the entire hearing. The hearing went on until midnight, and the People Power members were
The committee members of People Power have been provided with almost all of the documents they requested, and the ratio of documents submitted is higher than that of the Minister of Gender Equality and Family of the previous administration.
"The number of women and families who participated in the report was much higher than that of the candidates," he said. "Now it is our turn as the Gender Equality and Family Committee to take a responsible stance. The adoption of the report does not mean agreement or support.
It is the responsibility of the National Assembly to organize the results of personnel hearings as they are and convey them to the President. If the National Assembly holds hearings but does not convey any opinion to the President, this is a breach of its legal obligations and a disgraceful attitude towards the people.
"The position of Minister of Gender Equality and Family is an important responsibility to protect the rights and interests of women, families, young people and vulnerable groups, and it is unacceptable to leave this position vacant for any longer," he said.
"This is not possible. People's Power requests that the Diet approve the personnel hearing report so that it can comply with the law," the group reiterated.
